Elena Kagan might be a nice person but her presence on the Supreme Court will serve to further solidify and perpetuate the ranks of the Liberal wing of the Supreme Court replacing a 90 year old justice with one who at fifty years old could serve on the court for decades to come.

Face the inevitable, Elena Kagan will be confirmed. No matter how radical some of her positions are, there is no smoking gun that will persuade enough Senators to block confirmation. So once again we see the confirmation ritual played out where members of her party throw her a bunch of hugs and kisses disguised as questions while the Republicans attempt to get her to state for the record her stance on red meat issues which she has been well-prepared for dealing with and skillfully replies with friendly non-answers. The exercise serves as much as an opportunity for Senators to enjoy their free television time on cable news and CSPAN to preach to their choir adding little more than a lot of political hot air to the debate.

There’s plenty about Kagan’s background between her roles with both the Clinton and Obama administration and her tenure at Harvard to raise concern. Among other things, she helped the Clinton administration support late term abortion. She identified the National Rifle Association as a “bad guy” organization along with the Ku Lux Klan. As Dean of Harvard Law School, she attempted to keep military recruiters off campus for their alleged discrimination against homosexuals based on her perception of “Don’t aks, don’t tell.” She wrote: “This action causes me deep distress. I abhor the military's discriminatory recruitment policy.” Between her service as White House Counsel for Bill Clinton and Solicitor General in the Obama regime, she has been part of the policy making inner circle where all indications are her roll was consistent and uniformly far left oriented.

While they are engaged in the confirmation ritual whose results are already known, all the Democrats on the judiciary committee will vote for her while perhaps a Republican or two will extend a conciliatory vote, at least they’re not hard at work on idiotic environmental climate taxes or other ways to dig the country deeper into to a more debt.

There’s got to be a better way, but anything that keeps the Democrats from advancing their agenda is a good thing.

When a member of the private citizen organization, the Minutemen, stood to ask California Congressman Pete Stark a question about border security, the radical leftr-wing atheist legislator taunted the citizen with a hate-filled taunt sneering: “Who are you going to kill today?”

Finally, after the citizen asked why more wasn’t being done to secure the border, Stark quipped,

“If you knew anything about our borders, you would know that's not the case. Our borders are quite secure, thank you."

How can our elected leaders expect respect from the population when some like Pete Stark show such open contempt for the country’s citizens? It’s up to the press and the public to hold him responsible for his lies and boorish conduct.

We scratched our head, did a few Google searches, and rifled through Jayski. Here's our BIG list of candidates knowing there are glaring omissions, but not a single candidate who shouldn't be enshrined in the near future.

We see David Pearson, Bobby Allison, and Cale Yarborough all belonging together in the 2nd induction. Long time historians might argue and many would seek the inclusion of non-driver figures but we're leaning toward Darrell Waltrip and Lee Petty to round out the second year of inductions knowing full well whenever DW gets inducted his speech will be the event for the ceremony.

An American flag of course; however, as if protests about The Star Spangled Banner were not enough for its being to militant with images like “bombs bursting in air” and sending kids home for wearing American flag decorated shirts on Cisco de Mayo in California while it was perfectly okay for Mexican kids to wear Mexican flags, the Arlington Massachusetts school board not only does not display flags in its classrooms, it prohibits the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance even if voluntary. Officials argue it would be hard to find teachers willing to lead the recital.

A brave student, Sean Harrington protested that matter and got flags installed, but still no pledge.

Public education is service to our country. Regardless of where teachers stand politically and way too many of them have sided with their radical unions which support extreme social engineering and anti-free enterprise policies, they are part of the vital institution which guides students to appreciate their rights and responsibilities as Americans. The flag symbolizes our freedoms.

It’s comforting to note than this school system’s radical stand is even opposed by left-wing Senator, John Kerry.

Those responsible for these ridiculous policies should be subjected to severe public ridicule for their blatant irresponsibility, poor judgment, and subversive values.

Harvey Bernard Milk (May 22, 1930 – November 27, 1978) was an American politician who became the first openly gay man to be selected to public office in California, when he won a seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Politics and gay activism were not his early interests; he was not open about his homosexuality and did not join in civic matters until around age 40, after his experiences in the counterculture of the 1960s.

Milk moved from New York City to settle in San Franciscoin 1972 among a migration of gay men to the Castro District. He took advantage of the rising political and economic power of the neighborhood to promote his interests, and ran unsuccessfully for political office three times. His theatrical campaigns earned him growing popularity, and Milk won a seat as a city supervisor in 1977, part of the broader social changes the city was experiencing.

Milk served 11 months in office and was liable for passing a stringent gay rights ordinance for the city. On November 27, 1978, Milk and Mayor George Moscone were assassinated by Dan White, another city supervisor who had freshly resigned but wanted his job back. Milk's election was made possible by and was a key part of a shift in San Francisco politics. The assassinations and the ensuing events were the result of enduring ideological conflicts in the city.

Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an American clergyman, activist, and prominent leader in the African American civil rights group. His main legacy was to secure progress on civil rights in the United States, and he has become a human rights King is recognized as a martyr by two Christian churches. A Baptist minister, King became a civil rights protester early in his career.

He led the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped establish the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957, serving as its first president. King's efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King deliver his "I Have a Dream" speech. There, he raised public consciousness of the civil rights movement and recognized himself as one of the greatest orators in U.S. history. In 1964, King became the youngest person to get the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end racial segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience and other non-violent means.

By the time of his death in 1968, he had refocused his efforts on ending scarcity and the Vietnam War, both from a religious perspective. King was assassinate on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. He was posthumously award the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977 and Congressional Gold Medal in 2004; Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was recognized as a U.S. national holiday in 1986.

Seeing Jessica Simpson right now is unbelievable because she has gained tremendous weight, considering that the was the girl on the Dukes of Hazard movie, washing the car part of the movie and video.

The Wright brothers, Orville (August 19, 1871 – January 30, 1948) and Wilbur (April 16, 1867 – May 30, 1912), were two Americans who are usually credited with inventing and building the world's first winning airplane and making the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight, on December 17, 1903.

In the two years afterward, the brothers developed their flying machine into the first sensible fixed-wing aircraft. Although not the first to build and fly trial aircraft, the Wright brothers were the first to invent aircraft controls that made fixed-wing powered flight possible.The brothers' primary breakthrough was their invention of three-axis control, which enabled the pilot to steer the aircraft effectively and to maintain its equilibrium.

This method became ordinary and remains standard on fixed-wing aircraft of all kinds. From the beginning of their aeronautical work, the Wright brothers focused on unlocking the secrets of control to overcome "the flying problem", rather than developing more powerful engines as some other experimenters did.

Their careful wind tunnel tests shaped better aeronautical data than any before, enabling them to design and build wings and propellers more effective than any before. Their U.S. patent 821,393 claims the creation of a system of aerodynamic control that manipulates a flying machine's surfaces.

They gain the mechanical skills necessary for their success by working for years in their shop with printing presses, bicycles, motors, and other machinery. Their work with bicycles in particular partial their belief that an unstable vehicle like a flying machine could be prohibited and balanced with practice.

Richard Nixon (January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) was the 37th President of the United States from 1969–1974 and was also the 36th Vice President of the United States (1953–1961). Nixon was the only President to resign the office and also the only person to be chosen twice to both the Presidency and the Vice Presidency.

Nixon was born in Yorba Linda, California, USA. After completing his scholar work at Whittier College, he graduated from Duke University School of Law in 1937 and returned to California to practice law in La Habra. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, he joined the United States Navy, serving in the Pacific theater, and rose to the rank of Lieutenant leader during World War II.

He was selected in 1946 as a Republican to the House of Representatives representing California's 12th Congressional district, and in 1950 to the United States Senate. He was selected to be the running mate of Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Republican Party candidate, in the 1952 Presidential election, becoming one of the youngest Vice Presidents in history.

Marilyn Monroe (June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962), born Norma Jeane Mortenson, but baptized Norma Jeane Baker, was an American actress, singer and model. After spend much of her childhood in foster homes, Monroe began a career as a model, which led to a film contract in 1946. Her early film appearances were minor, but her performances in The tarmac Jungle and All About Eve were seriously acclaimed. In a few years, Monroe reached stardom and was cast as the foremost lady in such films as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, How to Marry a Millionaire, The Seven Year Itch, and Some Like It Hot.

The typecasting of Monroe's "dumb blonde" persona limited her career forecast, so she broadened her range. She studied at the Actors Studio and shaped Marilyn Monroe Productions. Her dramatic presentation in Bus Stop was hailed by critics, and she won a Golden Globe Award for Some Like it Hot.

The final years of Monroe's life were marked by illness, personal problems, and a standing for being unreliable and difficult to work with. The situation of her death, from an overdose of barbiturates, have been the subject of conjecture. Though officially secret as a "probable suicide," the possibility of an accidental overdose, as well as the possibility of homicide, have not been ruled out. In 1999, Monroe was ranked as the sixth most female star of all time by the American Film Institute.

Abraham Lincoln served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his murder in April 1865. He successfully led his country through its most internal crisis, the American Civil War, preserving the Union and ending slavery. Before his election in 1860 as the first Republican president, Lincoln had been a country lawyer, an Illinois state legislator, a member of the United States House of Representatives, and twice an unsuccessful applicant for election to the U.S. Senate.

As an outspoken opponent of the growth of slavery in the United States, Lincoln won the Republican Party nomination in 1860 and was elected president later that year. His tenure in office was engaged primarily with the defeat of the secessionist Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. He introduced measures that resulted in the removal of slavery, issuing his Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and promoting the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution.

Six days after the large-scale surrender of partner forces under General Robert E. Lee, Lincoln became the first American president to be assassinated. Lincoln had closely supervised the winning war effort, especially the selection of top generals, including Ulysses S. Grant. Historians have concluded that he handled the factions of the Republican Party well, bringing leaders of each faction into his cabinet and forcing them to assist.

A nationally televised prime time interleague game between the Yankees and the Dodgers in Los Angeles, fans expect to see the historic World Series rivals engage in an all out hard hitting, slick fielding, well pitched professional baseball at its best. Going into the late innings, the Dodgers appeared to have all well in hand, but the Yankees were on the comeback erasing a 6-2 lead tying the game in the top of the 9th. Dodgers manager, former Yank’s skipper, Joe Torre had aligned the team for defense replacing Manny Ramirez with the more mobile and capable, Garrett Anderson in left field. Coming up to bat with the game on the line or facing extra innings, Garrett Anderson was called out on strikes. There was no visible sign of him taunting the umpire, but umpire Chris Guccione ran him out of the game. In the bottom of the 10th down two runs, the tying run at the plate, catcher Russell Martin was called out on strikes, slammed his bat down in frustration, and was ejected from the game by Guccione.

Fans don’t pay good money to see umpires umpire. Umpires do their job by being quiet, showing patience, and being largely invisible. A well umpired game is one where the umpires appear all but unnoticed. While there are definitely limits players should not exceed in their on-the-field behavior toward umpires, running players out of the game in situations such as what existed in this game cannot be justified.

Naturally, cynics and Yankee haters will argue that the Yankees own the umpires. It would be hard to say anything favorable of the umpire’s behavior in this game. Guccione’s behavior probably did not influence the outcome of this game, but surely could have. That would have been most unfortunate.

Take a bow Mr. Guccione. You got your two minutes of fame on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball.

Jimmie Johnson comes up the big Mack Daddy with more victory row bling for his trophy case as Ford drivers are clearly in a funk with New Hampshire now in the rear view mirror. About the only thing one who is not a #48 fan can find as consolation to Johnson’s victory, Kevin Harvick still has a 105 point advantage in the pre-Chase standings one race shy of the half-way point in the 2010 season; however, with the Chase shakeup rewarding winners, Johnson would stand atop the heap just above Denny Hamlin both of whom have five victories. For those who thought Joe Gibbs Racing figured out how to surpass Hendricks operation, look again. Jimmie Johnson finished first. Tony Stewart, who races with Hendrick gear, ran second. Jeff Gordon – 4th, Ryan Newman racing Hendricks gear – 6th, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. – 8th all placed ahead of the first Gibbs car, Joey Logano in 9th. Kyle Busch finished 11th, and the fellow who looked so dominant just weeks ago, Denny Hamlin finished in 14th. The only Hendrick car not invited to the party was Mark Martin in 21st but on the lead lap.

No drivers moved in or out of the top 12 Chase positions. The New Hampshire race was cruel to those drivers fighting to move up into the top 12. Kasey Kahne’s blown engine dropped him two positions and put him 174 behind Carl Edwards in 12th. Reed Sorensen taking over the #83 car wrecked poll-sitter Juan Montoya knocking him back two positions in the standings, 183 points back.

The real action in movement toward the Chase exists in positions 13 to 15th. Dale Earnhardt Jr. is only three points out, while Ryan Newman sits 15 points out and Clint Bowyer is 16 points out. It would take very little for any of those three drivers to surpass Carl Edwards next week in Daytona. For Joey Logano, in 16th, the task is much greater having to overcome 99 points to equal Edwards.

Ford failure surely has to be another big story for today’s race in Loudon. Kasey Kahne was the one competitive Ford effort but a blown engine threw him back to 36th just ahead of the shameful quitters who pulled off the track early in the race refusing to compete. How bad was Ford futility?

Only A.J. Allmendinger finished in the top 10 in 10th. Four cars finished between 11th and 20th, Greg Biffle (16th), Matt Kenseth (17th), Elliot Sadler (19th), and David Ragan (20th). Carl Edwards finished 25th and Paul Menard finished 28th. The remaining Fords finished 31st, 32nd, and 35th. At least Ford has no start and park embarrassments.

Perhaps the story could just as well be written in terms of Chevrolet dominance taking seven top ten positions. Toyota cannot be pleased with only one top 10, but a thick cluster in the next six positions at least showed them knocking on the door: Kyle Busch (11th), Marcos Ambrose (13th), Denny Hamlin (14th), and David Reutimann (15th).

Toyota must accept some responsibility for supporting failure as five of the start and park rides were Toyota entries.
